Findings
Some of the findings of the GCC
Waste data evaluation Process
• Varying classification of waste
• Varying treatment methodology for similar waste
(Spent Caustic, Coke, Heavy oils, spent batteries, etc)
• Recycleble materials are disposed

SABIC Sustainability Program
SABIC Sustainability Program
Formal Sustainability Program Launched in 2010
Established 2010 as the base year
Environmental Sustainability contains 4 KPIs
Material Loss is one of the KPI
Performance target of the Material Loss reduction is 50% by 2025
SABIC Sustainability Program
Material Loss KPI included the following Waste streams:
Hazardous
Wastes
Point Source
Emissions
Non-Hazardous
Wastes
Fugitive
Emissions
Spills and
Releases
Process Material
to Water
Storage Tank
Losses
SABIC Success Stories
SABIC Success Stories
SABIC strongly adopted Reuse and Recycling where applicable as part of
its Sustainability Journey.
Key programs include:
 Recycle/Reuse waste generated for HEG
 Recovery of metals from spent catalysts
 Reuse Anisole for different applications
 Working to convert materials from hazardous to non-hazardous
 PFO recovery and Recycle
 Waste / Spent Lube oils
 PE solid & sludge waste category
 Process CO2 vent gas recovery
 Coke Reuse in another SABIC Process
Summary and Conclusion
Summary and Conclusion
1. GCC company members, including SABIC, have very good waste
management program.
2. The Average percentage for Reuse/Recycle is more than 40%, wherein
General (Utility) contributed more than 60%.
3. Sharing the best practices among member companies is very useful.
4. Areas for Recycling and Reuse need to be explored for certain types of
waste.
5. Disposal methods should be reviewed, where necessary and where
applicable.
6. Minimization will be a result of good waste management.
